Sean Rasul is an independent hip-hop/soul artist from Chicago, Illinois (currently living near London). Rasul released his debut album, "The Showcase" (Country Cool Records) in March of 2005. The album was produced entirely by Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Madukwu Chinwah, who also created hits for Erykah Badu, N'Dambi, and many others. The album was an inspiring effort that blended old and new school musical elements and featured wonderful spoken word poetry, hip-hop, and smooth urban grooves. His sophomore indie release, "Ghetto Child" (Live Root/WRIMG) featured progressive hip-hop, street poetry, and soulful/experimental jams. The album's breakout single "Champion" featured on season 1 of MTV's reality series "Taking The Stage." With guest appearances from Big Sid & LD of Playaz Choice, Rasul proteges Neri & Alexis, KaDi of Kinetic Soul Entertainment, and solid production from Texas producers Chinwah (Dallas), Michael Duque (Austin), Yung Chill (Houston), and German-based Kemo of Evocators, the album demonstrated significant growth for the driven and determined artist. A series of singles were released in 2010 and 2011; "Free" featuring Cicely Walker, "Higher" featuring Stephanie, "The Future" featuring Big Sid and Yung Chill, and the recently released EP entitled "How I Feel" which includes the title track along with the popular acoustic track "Prodigal Son" featuring Alex Loc. Sean Rasul recently released his debut mixtape "Newborn" and will release his third full-length indie album on July 16, 2013.
